Josephites were a movement in Russian Orthodox Church,originated in the USSR at the end of 1927. The name is derived from the name of Metropolitan Joseph (Petrovykh) of Petrograd. Being part of a broader current of non-commemorators,the Josephites tried to create a centralized administrative structure headed by their de facto leader,Archbishop Demetrius (Lyubimov). The Josephites were the most numerous and united church movement among the non-commemorates. According to historians Mikhail Shkarovsky and Alexey Beglov,the number of parishes that joined Josephism reached about 2.5 thousand. Leningrad became the center of the movement,and Josephism was also widely spread in the Vyatka,Izhevsk,Novgorod,Voronezh,Tambov,Krasnodar,Kiev and Kharkov dioceses.
